Well, I, as a whitie, have to admit that's quite true. Even though, ruined the world is a little too exaggerated. Now, I'm not protecting white people: man, we were awful, really: killing natives, being racist, slavering people! But, you see, we weren't the first ones to do this. Way back, people all over the world went on wars, dominated places, enslaved! But, problem is, we took it out of proportions: before, they usually went small, and only did it when they really had to expand and such. White people killed entire continents, and explored nations for such a long time (sometimes still do, but that's another story to be addressed later). I believe we have a lot to apologize for, and I think that acknowledging what we did is the only way for society to move on (not forgetting what we did, of course) and get better.

People are people. Genocide has happened with all races. A greed for resources and propensity for violence is part of the human race. Understanding our capacity for it as a universal entity is the only way we can overcome it.

They also were the reason places like America and Canada are so advanced and are first world countries. Slavery and all that sucked, but it's the reason we are ALL so well off now. The only places where truly horrific crimes are still happening are third world countries aka non-white countries.

30 million people are still enslaved in 50 nations around the world. 38 of those nations are in Africa, and they account for many millions still in captive today. Not one of the nations currently holding slaves is by white people. Yes, American chattel slavery was horrific. I know. I just finished an upper level history course on it at the University. But, that often all people seem to remember. Nearly every race has both enslaved and been enslaved at some point in history. And white people don't hardly have a lock on that, historically.

It wasn't and still isn't white people that are ruining the world. It was always the work of malevolent extraterrestrials leading people into wars against each other. The invasion in Iraq wasn't for oil. It was to steal the Sumerian Tablets that contained information left behind by extraterrestrials. Those tablets have the secret history of mankind.

Tough i am white, i hate white people. If they didn't exist the world would be a better place...

And invented modern medicine, space craft...

And were willing to realize their errors and take actions to correct them by freeing slaves, changing laws to promote the benefit of previously oppressed people...

Get off your racist high horse, it's giving you tunnel vision. Every race, religion, and ethnic group has sins on their record, great and small. One of the biggest differences is that white people set up a society where their own faults could be brought to light and corrected... in any other time of history, you simply would have been silenced if the geographical authority disagreed with you.

Right now is the freest and most accepting time in the world. Still work to be done, but don't ignore the incredible progress of society.

So. You're welcome.

Signed,White People

But white people have kind of screwe almost everyone over, I ea look at the damage they caused to India, or what they did to the native Americans. No amount of apologies can fix that.I've never heard of anyone apologising for what America did to Iraq, and nothings being done about it...
